Patient's question:
A woman who gave birth nine days ago has a fever. Physical therapy doesn't help, and 999 (a common Chinese medicine) doesn't work either. Using rectal fever-reducing medication lowers the fever, but it returns after a few hours. It has been fluctuating for two days, and now on the third day, she has gone to the hospital for an IV drip for a day. But after using the rectal medication, her fever rises again. What should she do?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is more likely that the fever is infectious. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, there is generally no need for fever-reducing medication. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can use some fever-reducing medication appropriately. This is the entire introduction for "What should I do if a postpartum woman has a fever on the ninth day after giving birth and physical therapy doesn't work?" Finally, we wish the patient a speedy recovery and a healthy life.
